Product Description
Alum is a type of chemical compound, the most common type of which is potassium aluminum sulfate (KAl(SO₄)₂·12H₂O ), which shows that it is a white crystalline solid and water-soluble, with an affinity for coagulation and antiseptic properties when dissolved in water. It is heavily employed in industrial processes, amongst others in water purification, where it assists in the coagulation of particles to eliminate impurities, for example, air bubbles from resuspended precipitation.
It can also make paper sizing and quality improvement most used in the paper and pulp industry. Additionally, it is also used as a mordant in a dyeing process with natural dyes that help to obtain more intense colors; this color proofing finds a place among other coloring applications walking through the textile industry.
Apart from this, it is used in the food industry as a food additive and preservative, and also in baking. It is widely used in personal care products such as deodorants and aftershaves due to its astringent properties.
